ION, our own NSSF who used to be the 2nd largest shareholder vanished from shareholders list of KenGen
NSSF was there and exited because it wasn't seeing tangible returns on its investment.NSSF have been in KENGEN since 2007.
Compare the share price at that time and now.
PIC is looking at divesting its funds away from South Africa where returns have been low.It has seen KENGEN as an opportunity for growth based on its current share price and future expectations
I hope you have been seeing the news lately of south african companies snapping up assets in kenya e.g
Sanlam buying PineBridge
Old Mutual Properties investment in Two Rivers Mall (50% stake)
Old Mutual Life SA acquired UAP Holdings
Stanlib buying Greenspan Mall
Sanlam Kenya acquired Gateway Insurance
etc etc
